This year we’re going to see a lot of high end phones all trying desperately to compete with the iPhone and each other. The iPhone, love it or hate it, has completely changed the way that manufacturers and users think about their phones. Its not just all about what it looks like, but what it does, and how it does it. Over the last 2 years, the number of touch screen handsets available has gone through the roof, with just about every manufacturer now making full touch screen, finger friendly devices.

Samsung have had massive success already with the Omnia and the Tocco, and LG did brilliantly with the Viewty. These two manufacturers have always been fierce rivals, always wanting to out do the other one, so with them both releasing new handsets at the same time, I thought I’d put the Samsung Tocco Ultra Edition up against the LG Arena to see how they compare.

Now, like most people in the mobile phone world, I’ve known these two phones were coming for a while, and always thought they were going to be 2 versions of the same thing, but when I powered them up I realised this wasn’t the case.
